HIPS + stab + HIPS + stab etc.

Well, true ... I suppose what i meant was, it's a roleplay exploit... If the circumstances of the HIPS + stab + HIPS + stab point to "no can do major!"

It might be wise to define an exploit for yourself and the general demographic before getting all exploit-curious on us.

Perhaps that is what this question is refering to this whole time, is the polymorphed epic spell casting an RP exploit? Wherein an Iron Golem has no ability to cast magic (unless programmed to do so), but can still cast Epic Spells.

My answer would still be no, whilst the person is polymorphed as whatever form they seemingly manifest, they still have innate qualities that are, as aforementioned, indelible to their being, one of these being Epic Spells.

Perhaps i'm picking this apart too much.

Does shapechange still have the "if you stay in the form too long you need to roll vs loosing your self and forgetting you shapechanged?" check still? Just wondering.

I don't think that ever existed. Though it is mentioned purely as flavor text of the Shifter/MMaster of Many forms classes that the really old ones attain so many forms they forget which was the original.

Umm *cough*

Might want to do the same when you mention RP exploit, because I'm not sure what an RP exploit is. Ruleset for RP is layed out, either your metagaming or your not?

He was being sarcastic m'dear.



Likewise darling.




Simple, and you answered it, so no need to ask. If you've nothing definitively helpful to contribute, then listen to your mother's words "Don't say nothin' at all."

And for the record darling, it's "you're", not "Your" ... L2love.

Regards,

Way to play that card Opustus.

Did any of you look at Frey's post? I'm not being a (censored), i'm simply standing up for myself when i am being insulted. I don't see how his post was contributing to the topic AT ALL, and therefore he shouldn't have done it in the first place.

And neither are the two of you contributing to this thread by pointing out, as hard as it is to reconcile to myself, that i am the (censored).

So... I will bring this point up. If in polymorphed form, such as Dragon or Iron Golem, does that hinder the caster from using their epic spells when they have lost the ability to cast normal spells? It would seem to me that it may be "metagaming" if say an Iron Golem has no ability to cast magic, yet the caster in the polymorphed form can.

Your physical attributes may go up, while INT/CHA will shrink to a measly 10 or 12.

If it's possible to do, people will do it. End of story.

Before the 1.69 patch clerics spammed Undeaths Eternal Foe. It wasn't supposed to stack the AC and we probably weren't supposed to... but we did it anyway. If people can cast epic spells whilst polymorphed, they will regardless of whether it's "Canonically legal" to DnD or not.

if the epic spell has been developed and an epic spell slot is available, successfully casting an epic spell isn’t assured. The caster’s Spellcraft skill modifier is vital for casting an epic spell. To cast an epic spell, a spellcaster makes a Spellcraft check against the epic spell’s Spellcraft DC. If the check succeeds, the spell is cast. If the caster fails the check, the epic spell fizzles and the epic spell slot is used for the day.

When the change occurs, your equipment, if any, either remains worn or held by the new form (if it is capable of wearing or holding the item), or melds into the new form and becomes nonfunctional. When you revert to your true form, any objects previously melded into the new form reappear in the same location on your body they previously occupied and are once again functional. Any new items you wore in the assumed form and can’t wear in your normal form fall off and land at your feet; any that you could wear in either form or carry in a body part common to both forms at the time of reversion are still held in the same way. Any part of the body or piece of equipment that is separated from the whole reverts to its true form.
